[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 127598, member: 3011"]I've noticed that there are two opposing forces at work regarding collecting advice.... On the one hand, there are comments such as the following that make it sound as if it is best to buy high valued coins: - buy key dates - buy problem-free coins - buy the best you can afford - buy quality and not quantity - buy coins slabbed by reliable TPGs On the other hand, there are comments such as the following which make it sound like it might be better to buy lower valued coins and pocket the difference: - buy what you like - don't expect to make money on coins - coins are a bad investment - there is no wrong way to collect This is pretty interesting because there seem to be pros and cons to buying either high grade uncirculated or average circulated coins in the same series. Maybe one is right and the other is wrong. Mabye both are right. Maybe both are wrong.[/QUOTE]
